I have come to love the eventide sound and originality so much. For me the eventide algorithms feels very organic and creative. I fully respect that eventide focuses on originality. I would suggest using that approach to create algorithms that could function as cabs but be more original. What if you had an algorithm that morphed a closed back 2×12 into an open back 1×10 temp sync. Thus you could both create a useful tool and expand it into new horizons. If you add the ability to shift the phase between two cabs, then there would be even more tonal choices. I will add that every program or cab simulation, always lacks the sense of air moving and depth that you get when mic’ing a real cab. Some of these have worked well enough but typically they remind me of what Zappa said once about fixing something in the mix (paraphrase), “we will fix it in the shrink wrap”.
